The process of the present invention is a composition comprising a) a stable aqueous dispersion of functionalized polymer particles having structural units of itaconic acid or a salt thereof, and; b) a water-soluble polymer functionalized with structural units of a sulfonic acid monomer or salt thereof, and also a method comprising mixing the stable aqueous dispersion of the itaconic acid functionalized polymer particles with the sulfonic acid functionalized polymer and thio2, the composition of the present invention is useful as a coating formulation that provides surprisingly good coverage. |
